Profiling a Program: Where Does It Spend Its Time?

This manual describes the gnu profiler, gprof, and how you
can use it to determine which parts of a program are taking most of the
execution time. We assume that you know how to write, compile, and
execute programs. gnugprof was written by Jay Fenlason.

This manual is for gprof
(GNU Binutils)
version 2.20.
